[HPFGU-OTChatter] RE: Atkins Diet

[Renee Gunn]

The atkins diet is not healthy, nor is Sugar Busters or any other diet that limits foods that you can eat such as carbs.  Carbs are highly important to your energy levels and the fuel your body produces.  You should limit your carbs, but you should also eliminate the amount of high protein foods you eat as well as sugars and fats.  Everything in moderation.   Your best bet is to talk to your physician about the diet and whether or not it is a healthy diet for you to be on, just as you should with any diet you consider.   There are several good reputable websites that will tell you the pluses and minuses of certain diets.   But you should research them and talk to a medical advisor about the diets out there.  Everyone is different and will see various results with different diets.   One diet is not the perfect solution for everyone, so it also comes down to what is easier and healthier for you.   And don't forget exercise.   If you are curious, I am currently on WW and have an exercise routine I do 6 days a week.   I started last week and between my first 2 weigh ins, lost 3 pounds.
